installed the viggen IC yesterday along with heater hoses and an upper coolant hose..big thanks to ERP for the great DIY instructions!...the install went smooth, the most painful job of the day was installing the heater hoses...they were stuck on, and i had to cut 3 of the 4 ends to remove..!.ugh..admittedly, i am not the most skilled DIY mech...so i was a little intimidated, especially after i had the front of the car off..
...but everything went ok...the modified outlet/driver-side hose (using the unused aluminum cross section for an extension)..worked like a champ..i did cut about 1/4-1/2" off of the passenger side hose the relieve a little tension on the ac lines (it was a tight fit!)...
spoolup is greatly improved...definitely a worthwhile mod..you can really feel this one..
i also had a chance to further work on my new speedparts ecu and try to complete some good WOT adaptation runs...i managed to hti 16psi, according to my autometer boost gauge..so i hope that it will continue to 'adapt', since i was hoping for 18-19psi peak...but i guess time will tell...the car is running great now though, and i am thoroughly satisfied (until the next mod anyway!!)....
maybe someone has a thought on this...i cannot seem to get my stock boost gauge into the red?..even showing 16psi on the autometer, the stock gauge just sits at the end of the yellow...? i know it might be silly, but its just one of those things that i would like to see!...any thoughts on what might be the problem?..i know that the stock gauge isn't precise, but what gives? why can't i get into the red!
